I am running the same code from https://github.com/google/gcm with no customization yet. I used Android Studio 1.2.2 and JDK 1.8 and imported the project and when I run it wait for 5 mins then I see the following error.

I did search the web and I find very similar error but not exact on the Could not run Android emulator as could not initialize emulated framebufferHAX in Windows 7.

The error snippet for reference

    did you try to use `-gpu off`? – rene Jun 16 '15 at 21:16
  • I got this error with other errors Android Studio 3 and Win 10. I could resolve it by installing everything. – NoWar Dec 08 '17 at 04:18
  • What do you mean "installing everything" – Almo Jan 30 '18 at 19:11

If you are using Android Studio, the GPU can be disabled from the advanced settings from the AVD Manager.enter image description here

Hoping this will help.

Go to AVD Manager. Edit your AVD. Select 'Software GLES2.0' option on Emulated Performance. (The reason is because some users did not install graphic video card drivers ) Click Finish (Save). Start AVD again.

It could be due to device resolution incompatibility. Try reducing the avd resoultion to 1280X720 or lower

If you don't have GPU or Graphics card in your system Follow below steps :

Just edit the emulator configurations -> click on Show Advanced Setting Select Graphics : Software- GLES 2.0

just save the changes and restart AVD.

on windows systems:

edit config file for virtual device

e.g.: C:\Users.android\avd\Nexus_7_API_17.avd\config.ini

... hw.gpu.enabled=no ...
